Cuisinart - Compact Automatic Bread Maker - Stainless Steel

I have had zero luck baking bread on my own, so the idea of a machine that would do it for me with me just adding the ingredients seemed impossible. This is compounded by the fact that I am one of those annoying vegans and sometimes my substitutions don't always jibe with baking recipes. Well, I can tell you that my first loaf with this machine, substituting oat milk powder and plant-based unsalted butter, turned out perfectly. Frankly, I was expecting a learning curve, for my first loaf to come out misshapen and inedible, but nope -- 3 hours and 15 minutes after I hit start, I had an almost perfect loaf of bread that tasted great. I baked a 1 lb loaf since there's only two people in my household. The machine is not very loud at all, and it's way smaller than I imagined it would be. I did not remove the paddle after the 3rd rise, but the hole it left was not that bad (round, size of a nickel), and I had zero issues getting the loaf out of the pan -- slid right out, paddle remained fastened to the pan. I researched so many machines -- some were too big, some too small, some had too many complaints about burnt or botched loaves, so I am pleased with this purchase. Pizza dough, jam, and pretzels are next in my list of things to try.

Easy to clean. Dump ingredients in order The unit mixes everything for you ! Fresh bread is consistent.unit comes with simple recipes. Delay timer is great for overnight or when getting home after long day. Doesn't take up as much room as the toaster and not loud either. Any non baker can use this product and make bread,cake,jams, pizza dough, pretzels, bagels. Love the option for 3 loaf sizes and crust darkness. The window on top is nice to view progress . Watch for the half price sale. That's when I got this unit which made it a great bargain. I have made 14 different breads, garlic knots, and pretzels since owning it!

This machine is terrific. I just love it. I’m not much of a baker or a cook but I love the idea of adding ingredients and —boom—fresh bread. I now make fresh bread once a week and plan on trying some fancier breads for the holidays. It really is a no muss, no fuss solution to fresh bread. Plus my house smells amazing even tho I pretty much pushed a button. Highly Recommend!

We love this bread maker. It’s very easy to use. All you do is add the ingredients and set. We have made several types of bread using the recipe book included. The breads are very good. This is our first bread maker and I have to say we have been missing out. The only downside is the machine is a little loud for a few minutes when kneading the bread. Other than that this is a must buy if you like fresh baked bread. When it bakes the bread the whole house smells delicious. Very easy to clean the the outside of the machine gets a little hot when in use. We do recommend that you get a bread cutting knife, this will make it a whole lot easier to slice the bread. We love it and highly recommended it.

Had a bread machine years ago. It worked for awhile, then loaded didn’t turn out. So far this one is very easy to use, does way more than my first kind and tastes so yummy.
